A 3-year-old girl with spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality (SCIWORA) is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an abnormal intensity of the spinal cord at the level of C7 to Th1 in the acute stage and severe atrophic change in the chronic stage. This is the first report of SCIWORA with positive diagnostic imaging. The mechanism of SCIWORA is discussed based on the positive MRI findings.
报告了一名3岁无放射学异常脊髓损伤（SCIWORA）女童。磁共振成像（MRI）显示急性期脊髓在C7至Th1水平有异常信号强度，慢性期有严重萎缩改变。这是首例具有阳性诊断影像学表现的SCIWORA报告。基于MRI阳性表现对SCIWORA的机制进行了讨论。
